1The three main building blocks of cost

In practice, CoDeliver pricing is built around three simple building blocks that are easy to explain to anyone:

Stores: the more locations have access to the system, the higher the monthly charge – with discounts when you go beyond certain thresholds.
Concurrently active couriers: what really matters is not how many drivers have an account, but how many can be logged in at the same time during a shift.
Level of automation: the Simple, Basic, Semi-Auto and Auto plans describe how “smart” the assignment engine is and therefore influence the per‑courier cost.

Everything else (embedded map, MDM, integrations) sits on top of these three foundations and only adds cost when you actually need those capabilities.

2Why we talk about “concurrently active” couriers

In CoDeliver, courier pricing is based on the maximum number of drivers connected to the Driver App at the same time during a shift. This means you can have more people on your payroll who rotate through shifts, while your cost is tied to how many need to be working concurrently.

For example, if at peak time you need up to 12 drivers connected, you can think of your cost as “12 concurrently active couriers”, regardless of whether you have 20 people taking shifts throughout the month.

3Discount scaling as your fleet grows

To keep pricing fair, CoDeliver applies discount tiers both to stores and to couriers. As your fleet grows, the average cost per location or per driver goes down.

You do not need to memorise exact breakpoints – the CoDeliver Cost Wizard automatically calculates discounts. What matters for the conversation is that:

smaller fleets pay a reasonable entry cost without long‑term commitment, and
larger fleets benefit from meaningful discounts as store and courier counts increase.

4How operating plans influence cost

The Simple, Basic, Semi-Auto and Auto plans do not only change how your fleet operates; they also change the per‑courier price. As you move up the stack:

you add capabilities like GPS, order bundling and automatic assignment,
you gain time and better utilisation of your drivers, and
the price per courier increases – with the goal of reducing your cost per delivery overall.

When talking to customers, it helps to position this not as “a more expensive package” but as a different operating model that reduces idle time, improves SLAs and cuts the number of missed or delayed orders.

5Adding map, MDM and integrations without losing the big picture

Add‑ons such as the embedded map, company‑owned devices with MDM and integrations with POS/ERP or online ordering platforms can make cost discussions feel more complex because they combine monthly and one‑off components. The clearest way to explain them is:

First, agree on the basic scenario: number of stores, concurrently active couriers and operating plan.
Then, decide which add‑ons are essential on day one and which can wait for a later phase.

CoDeliver can run without any integrations at all, using manual order entry from stores. This makes it easier to get started and add connectors once the system has already proven its value.

6How the Cost Wizard ties everything together

The best part is that you do not need to do the maths by hand. The Cost Wizard:

guides you step‑by‑step through stores, couriers, plans and add‑ons,
calculates discounts and totals automatically (monthly and one‑off), and
produces a quote summary you can share with clients or use internally.

Articles and documentation then help everyone on the team understand the logic behind the numbers, while the Cost Wizard handles the precise calculations in a repeatable way.
